bush, in relation to hurricane katrina. >> lessons learned. katrina was a lesson throughout the federal government of what not to do, not just at the presidential level, but operationally well below the president. and even for the states, quite frankly. the governor and the mayor weren't shining examples of, you know, state control over that situation. so there was enough blame and mistake-prone action to look at and learn from, and obama is nothing if not a quick study in that regard and understanding and appreciating how to use the tools of this government at a time of crisis. now, we'll see. the expectation for the president is to do his job and to be on top of doing his job. so politically i don't know if there's a huge upside -- there's more of a downside risk than anything if there's a gaffe somewhere, if there's a mistake somewhere in the execution of responding to those in need, but i think this president has shown that his administration will be prepared for that because that's what people expect. >> karen, i was watching your facial

it's a category one hurricane, why are they saying it could be more damaging than katrina. well, it's not just the area that it's going to impact. we're talking about an area of low pressure stronger than we've ever seen before. what happened is a very powerful nor'easter merged with the hurricane. what i want to talk about is the actual low pressure. so when you traditionally have a hurricane, you're talking about 970, 980 millibars. that's how low the pressure will fall. we are talking about appear area of low pressure down to 946 millibars. that's a measurement of energy. so basically that means this thing is packing a triple whammy. we're expecting a very, very high storm surge, anywhere in the area of 7 to 11 feet. that means the water will be sitting 7 to 11 feet higher than it traditionally does on the coast. we're also talking about treacherous rainfall and very, very damaging winds. a prolonged period of maybe 12 to 24 hours of battering winds potentially taking down trees, taking out power lines. that's why we're expecting outages. that's why we're talking about s
